Let me start with a disclaimer: I’m not affiliated in any way with East West Bank and I’m not being paid to write this. I was just compelled to write about my experience!

Recently, I received payment via PayPal. It was my first time to use the service and it was very stressful for me. Long story short, I looked for debit cards that could be linked to PayPal so that I could withdraw the funds to my bank account and this Visa debit card from East West bank seems to be the crowd favorite, at least in the blogosphere. I researched some more, found out about their basic savings account, and proceeded to open one as soon as I could.
